A rumour sweeping the internet claims it's curtains for one of the characters on the hit comedy Glee.

A rumour sweeping the internet claims it's curtains for one of the characters on the hit comedy Glee.

"Somebody's dying," Glee star Matthew Morrison — aka Mr Schuester — is quoted as telling E! Online, apparently confirming the death. "Obviously I'm not going to tell you who it is, but it's no-one that you would probably expect."

Matt allegedly added: "The episode right before the finale is called 'Funeral'. We were actually at a funeral home yesterday, shooting all day. It was a very taxing day."

But the trouble with internet rumours is that you can't always believe them: the supposed interview with Matt isn't to be found anywhere on E! Online's actual site (at least at the time of writing), so take this whole thing with a grain of salt.

It is true, however, that there's an upcoming episode of Glee titled 'Funeral'. Here's its official synopsis: "New Directions continues to strategise their set list for Nationals with a little help from Jessie St. James (guest star Jonathan Groff). Meanwhile, an unexpected loss rocks the world of one of McKinley's own."

So this rumour might be true after all. Keep your tissues ready just in case.
